October Information and CR Meme

I hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is the month of Horseshoe. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "Friendship is the comfort of knowing that even if you feel alone, you aren’t."

This means: Any thread where you are meeting new CR earns you two team points! The thread must be with someone you have not written with before in game but assumed CR is alright (e.g if they are your roommate, or a castmate).

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during October AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!

Recipes are here. The key ingredient this month is teddy bear luncheon meat (both ham and beef types). All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.

This month's chore assignments are:

Orange: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Blue: Meal Preparation
Purple: Laundry
Red: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms

The Train.

As the month moves through the month of Horseshoe the train will stop to pick up new passengers.

When they return to the train they will notice some changes.

Coach L: Armoury

This room is a single carriage, there is a corridor running down the left hand side with three doors leading into the carriage itself.

Around the outer walls and making a solid back to back wall down what would usually be the centre aisle are tall lockers in all four team colours. They have a shelf at the top that can be folded down.

Each locker is open initially and to claim a locker passengers need only insert their ticket into a slot in the door, this registers the locker as theirs as their ticket will be needed to open and use that locker. There is an information plaque on the wall near each entrance explaining this. Each passenger can claim one locker.

This has been updated on the setting. Remember to let me know if your character does anything to alter the setting!
The shop has been updated! It can be found here!

Important Dates

This month's event will run over the 9th and 10th October. A plotting post will go up on the 7th October

Reserves will open 19th October with a TDM going up on the 17th October. Apps are between 22nd October and 29th October. AC will run 23rd October to 30th October.

Other Info

The passenger roster has been updated with point counts for the month.

We have a spreadsheet to help with linking character names to names on rosters, as there are quite a few characters for whom this differs. This has been linked both on the Passenger Roster page and on the Sleeper Cabin page for ease of keeping track of who is who!

I’d also like to thank Perky for the awesome illustrations that can be found on our setting page!

A reminder that if anyone is doing anything crazy that they think may have consequences please let us know on the character shenanigans page!

Monthly Plotting

Feel free to use this post to plot anything you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use!

Not gonna lie, my initial reaction to this was "oh Jesus please don't make a black hole in front of him it will break him"

so. that's some unresolved trauma on his part. 8D

That said, Siebren has no idea what aether is or whether it even exists in his dimension, so he will absolutely want to sit down and compare scientific systems with Sakura.

Ahaha... I mentioned Black, Hole because I was getting spammed by that spell from a boss while typing. Purely coincidental. My apologies, all I know of Overwatch is the cartoons my son likes with the bird, robot, and the other one with the talking monkey and the guy I call "Edgelord."

No worries! There are a few Overwatch characters that people who aren't familiar with canon could probably pick out of a lineup, and Sigma is about as far from that as you can get.

Essentially, he's an astrophysicist with a focus on gravity who was given access to run an experiment aboard the international space station; when he did, something went wrong, it created an uncontrolled black hole in an enclosed space, and it messed him up something awful. It gave him his gravity powers but also utterly wrecked his sanity, and his recovery from that has been piecemeal at best and involves a number of unhealthy coping mechanisms. He's normally okay, but another black hole appearing in front of him would be An Event that I'm not prepared to deal with in his first week on the train. |D

So, tw: black hole, I guess?

(Also I am so happy to know that calling Reaper "Edgelord" is something that transcends time, space, and canon knowledge, and that is giving me life today.)
